This highly anticipated novel from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is set in Nigeria during the 1960s, at the time of a vicious civil war in which a million people died and thousands were massacred in cold blood.The three main characters in the novel are swept up in the violence during these turbulent years. One is a young boy from a poor village who is employed at a university lecturer's house. The other is a young middle-class woman, Olanna, who has to confront the reality of the massacre of her relatives. And the third is a white man, a writer who lives in Nigeria for no clear reason, and who falls in love with Olanna's twin sister, a remote and enigmatic character.As these people's lives intersect, they have to question their own responses to the unfolding political events. This extraordinary novel is about Africa in a wider sense: about moral responsibility, about the end of colonialism, about ethnic allegiances, about class and race; and about the ways in which love can complicate all of these things.

When he rescues her from a botched kidnapping, he realizes not only that she’s innocent, but also the only way to protect her is to pose as her boyfriend.Claire knows that their relationship is a ruse. Once the case is closed, she’ll never see Ash again, and that scares her almost as much as the abduction attempts. But the way he acts towards her makes her wonder just how much of an act their relationship really is. And if she'll be able to survive long enough to find out.
